As a mid-level player, I've spent the last couple of months building up my skills/experience as a miner and rat hunter. The most valuable item I've looted was a Miner 1 or maybe a power core mod.
What I have gotten is lots of basic stuff that's good for recycling. Not much fun just getting junk in look drops.
I've a request of the developers. Spice up the loot drops just a bit. Make a 1% to 5% chance of getting a valuable loot item. It could be BP's, miner 2's, advance mod, you know anything but just the same plain old refuse loot drops.
This will make it more fun when we spend those hours doing the routine mining/rat hunting that most of us spend the majority of our time doing....
imagine getting a rare BP that a rat was transporting from rat base to rat base....

What kind of pirate do you hunt?
I blast 4k pirates while mining all the time and get about the same loot your describing. You might try moving up to harder pirates to get good loot.

The problem is that it's so easy to kill hundreds of 40k and 50k pirates that the good loot is actually not very rare at all.
If they'd increase the chance of good stuff dropping, it would cause a massive inflation and suddenly nothing would be rare anymore.

how bout we make it so these 'uber item' things can be researched and produced first before we beef up frequency of their drops.  funny that they exist yet no one anywhere can make them.

Even 30-50k rats drop 99% slag, we usually recycle enough to make a cruiser b4 finding a good item. Prior to the change every other can had Cu Vapor or Prototype Guass in it. CCP has a serious concept of balance problem
... you will see more and more marketing which in turn will bring you more players to torture. |

It is fully possible to find 1-2 Prototype Gauss a day, and many more of the lower named versions. Some days i've found over 10 Carbide Rails.
Is that very rare? Nope.
What they need to do is make NPCs much harder to fight. Give them multiple turrets and missile launchers so that they match player ships. This way it will be much harder to sit in a belt all day and chainspawn 5x40k cruisers, and then they can adjust loot rarity accordingly.

agreed killing cruiser pirates is just boring and PVP is non existant unless your a pirate and attack people who arent expecting it.

The problem with introducing NPC battleship pirates is this: Where would they spawn and how would their presence be indicated?

That's a pretty sizable number of systems.
